For any of you who hear about the tornado in Currituck, we're fine.
We lost two hundred year old oaks and a crepe myrtle. Jamie's garage is gone.
The house--untouched.
We're lucky.

*shock*

I heard there were tornados expected in NC. Didn't know abou this one.

LATER:

Oh, the ones from a couple of days ago! I heard late this afternoon more were expected near Charlotte, which confused me about your location.

Sorry about the trees! I love crepe myrtles, grew up with one outside my window.

[hannah_henchman]

Nope--We're on the Currituck/Camden County line.
We had a tornado about 8:00 this evening.
It's all good though--I don't think clarity is my strong point right now. I'm sort of in shock that my house is still here. *L*

There were the tornadoes around G'boro a couple of days ago. Tornadoes all over the damned place. Heavy winds here, today. Big tree blew over about two miles from here and smashed someone's house.

[hannah_henchman]

Yep, Rob's family is mostly not far outside of Charlotte and I still know quite a few people in Gboro and surrounding areas so that was really scary too.
Did you see any pictures of the damage to the farmer's market, airport and I-40?
It was nuts!

Weird weather...indeed. I'm sorry for the person whose house got hit with a tree...That sucks. We were so lucky.

glad to hear you're okay!! crazy ass weather lately, sheesh.

[hannah_henchman]

I know...I've had enough of it. I'm used to hurricanes, not this scary shit.
I'm just shocked.

[alkeline]

i mean, shit, at least there's comfort in knowing hurricanes are predictable.

[hannah_henchman]

I KNOW!
With those we have like 3 days to get the hell out the way!

[lulu_plum]

Holy shit! That's scary as hell! Ok, now I have to contact *everyone* else, but I'm glad you guys are fine at least!

[hannah_henchman]

Yep, I thought I was going to pee. No kidding.

According to local news, there were no injuries from the storms/tornadoes.
The tally?
*Two tornadoes hit Currituck (one here, one in Grandy)--No homes destroyed.
*Friday there was one in Pasquotank--One home destroyed in the "Crystal Lakes" subdivision off Main St. Extended. The family had recently moved to the area. No injuries. One touched down in Chowan (near Canon Ferry Road) and damaged four roofs. Several homes were damaged in Bertie Co.

So really we got off pretty light.
Still freaked me the fuck out. *L*
